Daily Update 1/3

Hi Parents,

Today we started a new math chapter focusing on measurement.  Homework tonight is page 645-646. Please encourage your child to look back at pages 643-644 for help.

In writing this week, we will be beginning work on a fictional narrative.  Students will progress through the writing process to plan, write, edit, revise, and publish a creative writing piece.  Students will also be studying figurative language to include in their writing piece.

In Reading, we are beginning to read My Brother Martin, a biography of MLK Jr.  Students will be reading the story with a focus on finding the main idea and supporting details in a reading passage.

Finally, in Science, students are beginning a lapbook project.  Students have already chosen and researched an animal and will be creating a reference book showcasing what they've learned.  We look forward to seeing the finished products!

Happy New Year!  Please let us know if you have any questions.
